SPECIFICATION forrnng part of Letters Patent No. 440,643, dated November 18,1890.

Application filed July 28, 1890. Serial No. 360,143. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIM E. MONTGOM- ERY, of thecity of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Iinproveinents in Paper Pails; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and Io use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference inarked thereon, which form part of this specifieation.

My invention relates to an improvement in x5 paper pails.

In the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, and in which similar letters and figures of reference refer to like parts in the several figures, Figure 1 zo shows a perspective view of my pail closed. Fig, 2 shows an end view open. Fig. 3 shows a side view open. Figwi shows a perspective view of the pail lnearly folded into shape. Fig. 5 shows the blank froin which the pail is constructed. Fig. G is an enlarged sectional view showing the construction and fastenings, and Fig. 7 shows the fastencr used in constructing the pail.

Referring more speeifically to the referencenumerals marked on the drawings, 1 indicates the blank from which the pail is constructed, which is divided by suitable folding-lines into side pieces 2 2, end pieces 8 3, bottom 4, corner-pieces 5 and 6, and cover 7, 3 5 having flanges S 8 and 9. The corner-pieces 5 and 6 and end piece 3 on the opposite half of the pail from that to which the cover is secured are provided with slotted openings a a, &c., for the reception of the fastener here- 4o inafter described, and the said cornerpieces and end are longer in proportion than the similar pieces onrthe opposite half of the pail, as will be indicated, between the points Z) Z) on the periphery of the pail. i 10 indicates the Wire bail, which spans the top of the pail and is secured therein by bent or hooked ends 11, passing through the pern forations indicated by w x, &c., in Fig. 5. The blank is folded together, as indicated in Fig. 4, the corner-pieces 5 and 6 folding,` together and on the outside of the end pieces 3 3, and are seeured together by the hooks ll of the bail passing through the perforations a; w in the end and corner pieces, as before stated. The pail is further secured in Shape by the fastening 12, (shown in Fig. 7,) which is a thin strip of metal passing through the perforations indicated by a a and bent substantially in the form indicated in Fig. 7. The cover 7 connects With the end piece 3, and the flanges 8 8 turn downward or inward, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 6, and the flange 9 turns upward, as ndicated in the same figures. Then the pail is closed, the cover is secured in closed position by turning the end 6 5 13 of the fastencr 12 over the fiange 9 of the pail-cover.

It will be observed of iny construction of pail that when folded in. shape the cornerpieces and end 8 of the half opposite to that to which the cover is connected form an upwardly-projecting edge, which coineides in form with the upwardly-turned fiange of the pail-cover when in closed position, and that the flanges on the cover strengthen the pail, so that it will not readily collapse when its weight and the contents are supported by the bail.

lVhatI claiin as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- So 1. The herein described paper pail, all forined of one sheet and having` sides, ends, corner-pieces, bottoin, and cover, the cover being forxned integral with one of the end pieces and having inwardly and outwardly turning flanges, the end piece and the cornerpieces of the half opposite to that to which the cover connects projecting to a greater distance from the bottom than the others, the bail spanning the top of the pail and passing go at each side through perforations in the corner-pieces and end pieces, and a fastener passing through the coinpiled edges of the longer corner-pieces and end and adapted to secure the pail in shape and having a project- 9 5 ing end adapted to engage and secure the cover in closed position, snbstantially as set forth.

2. The heren-described paper pail having the sides 2 2,ends 3 8,botto1n4=, eorner-pieces too 5 and 6, and cover 7, all formed of one uncut blank Sheet, separated from each other by folding-lines, the cover 7 being connected to one of the end pieces 3 and the opposite end piece and its adjacent corner-pieces 5 and 6 projecting farther from the center of the blank than those of the half to which the cover is attached, the cover having inwardlyturning flanges 8 and outwardly -turning flange 9, the bail passing through perforations in the Compiled edges of the cornerpieces and end pieces, and the fastening device passing through perforations in the compiled edges of the longer oorner-pieces and end pieces and around the edges of the same 15 In witness whereof I have affixed my sig- Yo nature in presence of two wtnesses.
